Send the first issue.
Then decide.

Choose your people. Their first issue is delivered from you in the LENS box, with your announcement on top. See how it's received, then decide who continues.

Four steps

One issue in the LENS box, and nothing continues until you say so.

The announcement card that sits on top of the first issue: the LENS wordmark, a short note from the sender, and the sender's photograph and firm mark at the foot.
Choose your people

As many as you like. Minimum of twenty five.

Work with our designers

They build your gates and your announcement with you, once, from a short conversation. You approve them.

The first issue is delivered

It arrives at each home in the LENS box. You clients are delighted and your reputation is strengthened.

See how it lands

Decide who continues. Anyone you keep receives the next three issues. Anyone you do not is released, and the copy they already have was still a gift from you.

Included

Everything a member gets, for every recipient.

Your own edition of a luxury quarterly, with your photograph, your firm, your message, and your name on the gates of every copy.

Your gates and your announcement, designed with you by our designers. Approved by you.

The LENS box for the first delivery: the black shipping box, the presentation box inside it, and your announcement on top of the issue.

Printing, personalization, packing, and delivery to every address on your list, four times a year.

Every household on your list held for you alone. No other member can send LENS there.

An account to hold your list, your gates, and your message, and to tell you when the next list closes.

What to expect

LENS is not a campaign.

It will not produce a lead this month, and it does not report a response rate. It is a presence in the houses that matter to you, four times a year, for as long as you choose. If you are still building those relationships, spend the money on lunches for now.

And if you want your logo bigger, this is the wrong thing. Your name is inside, where it is found rather than shown.

What it costs

Start with one issue, or with the whole year.

Send the first issue

$176 per recipient

The LENS box and your announcement are included. No subscription commitment.

Order more than two months before an issue ships and it is $149 per recipient. For the December issue, that is on or before the thirtieth of September.

Continue the year

$199 per recipient

For the three issues that follow. Decided after the first issue arrives, when you already know how it landed.

Or subscribe outright

$348 per recipient per year

All four issues.

Extra copies for yourself

$349 for a box of five

For the office, the reception area, or the conversation where somebody needs to hold one.

What that looks like

Twenty-five recipients, first issue: $4,400. Ordered on or before the thirtieth of September: $3,725.
Continuing all twenty-five through the following three issues: $4,975.
Ordered early, that is $87 an issue for each person on your list.

The calendar

One date decides which issue you start with.

The list for the December issue closes on the first of November.

Anyone added after that begins with the March issue. Every ship date and every list close is on one page.

If you would rather hold one first, that is the better order.
